“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Indonesia Earns UN Recognition for Cooperative Success

Indonesia’s cooperative program was named one of the world’s most successful during a United Nations event in New York earlier this week, according to the Indonesian cooperative minister.

Indonesia, along with Malta, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago, was officially recognized during the closing ceremony of the UN’s International Year of Cooperatives on Nov. 19-20.

Officials from the four nations, including the Indonesian minister for cooperatives and small and medium enterprises, Syarief Hasan, were each given an opportunity to present at the event the strategies used in their respective countries that led to the prosperity of the programs.

“I was given the chance to describe programs we’ve been implementing that have led to Indonesia’s success in the cooperative and SME sector,” Syarief told journalists upon his return to Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang on Saturday.

“I gave examples of why Indonesia has succeeded. First, we have a large number of cooperatives. They [the audience] were surprised with the figure, especially when I mentioned that our cooperatives have a total of 33.6 million members.”

Syarief said in his presentation that Indonesia was currently home to 192,443 cooperatives, with 7,831 of them offering savings and loan services.

He added that evaluating the performances of cooperatives should not be based on their asset developments, or lack thereof.

“We should value cooperatives not based on their sales revenues, but on the amount of members and whether they feel the benefits of being members of the organizations. That’s the spirit,” Syarief said, reciting his own remarks made at the UN event.

He added that the Indonesian government supported the growth of cooperatives and SMEs since they helped reduce unemployment and poverty rates, which currently stand at 6.3 percent and 11.96 percent, respectively.

“They were surprised when I said our microfinance program can draw 7.8 million customers. ‘No wonder the poverty rate was reduced,’ they said.”

The UN designated 2012 as the International Year for Cooperatives.

Indonesia has organized a number of events and has launched some new programs this year in conjunction with the UN program, including training events for youth cooperatives, as well as seminars and conferences under the banner of “Indonesian Cooperatives Go Green.”

Indonesia’s House of Representatives also endorsed earlier this year the new cooperatives law, a revision of the 1992 version, which is expected to provide more protection to cooperative members and eradicate loan shark practices among cooperatives, among other things.
